This doesn't seem to vibrate as much as my stock one did, maybe because of the foam in the 3M tape damping it or just my imagination

The type-s oil pump especially with forged internals causes the motor to vibrate a good bit more. At least in comparison to a z3 block with a z3 oil pump. The type-s doesn't have balance shafts. But it's definitely a better pump for revving higher.

ABS is going underneath the windshield cowling where the Cruise Control was, Paint will remain Satin Silver Metallic, and the powdercoated wheels will be a nice shade of grey. The power steering line is just massive and unsightly from the factory so I'm making one that will route slightly differently around the engine bay and therefore remove that eyesore.

depends on the angle of the wire coming off the cannon. if the wire runs straight then a 202K boot, if 90 degree then 222K
Technically, the 174 size is needed for the 24 shell size, but in my opinion, its way too big and looks like crap. So i recommend this

So I was looking to get one of those T boots for the major split in the harness, is that something else you know the part number for?

I know all the part numbers ;) lol They are 301A boots, the last 3 numbers depend on the size of the bundle(s) you are applying it over. I use a caliper to measure the bundle and then choose the proper boot. The last harness I made used a T boot for the first break out and it was a 301A028, but if you don't use concentric twisting then you may have to go with a 034 size.

I advise with keeping several boots handy of different sizes. It sucks when you dont have the right stuff on hand. PM for prices on boots if you would like to compare prices with your current supplier

I think Spaz is referring to the way suede wears. Even the best quality suede, after a long time of usage, wears in a way unique to suede. If you look at 8th gen Civic Si interior pics online, you'll see what I am referring to.
There is no need to worry, however. I have heard, not empirically, that you can maintain your suede and it will stay nicely fresh!

Keep us updated with pictures. That mounting plate really came out great! SUPER clean and professional with the allen-head bolts! I put the same ones on my Ruckus :upsidedownparty::spazface:
